I'm glad my story helped, and to answer your question yes, I do get nervous. But I still get nervous at shows, just not as nervous as I once did. And I think it's safe to say everyone does to a certain degree. It's natural to feel nervous, it is a competition after all.
Just don't let it get to you. My saying is "Don't sweat the small stuff". Don't blow things out of perportion. When you're riding in the show just think of it as a regular lesson, but obviously try a little harder. But one word. Relax. I'll bet you look much better riding when you are. And your horse can probably sense when you're all tense, just take it easy and ride well. I hope things go well for you. good luck!
